Oh no! It's story time!! When I was between the ages of 10 and 15 years old, I had an elderly relative that lived in a very odd apartment building. I thought it was a place only for seniors, but it was also a mental hospital I think. Wherever it was , it was a wild mixture of people.
.....
There was this elderly lady with long white hair, who would sit in the front lobby all day long. That seems a little strange but that's nothing compared to what she would do all day long. All day she would run her fingers through and pull her own hair out! It was so nasty to me as a child to see this nice old lady sitting in the lobby plucking her hair out all day! I don't understand how she didn't go bald in a day. It was like a nervous twitch.
....
Then the maintenance guy was this older black man with a "Jheri curl". It's like he was trapped in a different time period. I remember he always bragged not having to pay rent because he lived in the building.
.. .
One of the strangest stories from that place was. One day one of the elderly tenants fell asleep with a cigarette and they caught on fire. They ran out into the hall screaming for help, no one helped. So they ran out the front door now completely engulfed in flames, and collapsed at the bottom of the steps. There is a basketball court and playground right in front of the building. When the person burst out the door they said it looked like the "Human Torch" from the Fantastic 4.
